Clearer, More Engaging Lessons with a New iPad

Help me give my students clearer, more engaging lessons by replacing the iPad I use daily. It lets me move around the room, present notes, and keep instruction visible to every student at all times.

My Project

I use an iPad every single day in my classroom—it's an essential part of how I teach. Whether I'm presenting notes, moving around the room to help students, or keeping lessons engaging and interactive, my iPad helps make it all happen. I use the iPad to teach without blocking the board, ensuring every student can clearly see the material at all times. I also use it as a resource for kids to be able to use to practice problems in small group settings, and students who may not have a Chromebook.

Over the years, I've personally purchased three iPads to make this possible, but I'm no longer in a place financially where I can afford to keep replacing them on my own.

With your support, I can continue giving my students the kind of dynamic, connected learning experience they deserve.

Thank you so much for considering a contribution to our classroom!
